In recent years, graphene oxide has been the subject of study due to its electronic, magnetic, thermal and mechanical properties. This study presents two different methods of chemical functionalization to obtain graphene oxides (GO) adhered to a high-density pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface by acid spray coating. For the spraying in the first method, two strong acids (H2SO4 and HNO3) were used. In the second spray method, three strong acids (H2SO4 / HNO3 / HCl) were used. For both cases, the spray interval was 2, 4 and 6 hours. HOPG plates were characterized by SEM-EDS, FTIR, Raman. The presence of graphene oxide on the surface of the plate could be determined. This method demonstrates the ability to functionalize the surface of (HOPG), breaking its sp2 structure and forming defects where the characteristic functional groups of GO are found.
